Adding a Unique Request Parameter in JMeter

I was recently running some load tests against one of our services with JMeter. The results from JMeter and the results from our application monitoring tool were not adding up. So I wanted to add a kind of correlation parameter to the requests. This would allow me to make sure the results I was looking at were valid.

The best way I found to do this was simply to add a counter to the test, and include a bogus query parameter in the request.

Add the counter under the HTTP request sampler.
Include the unique value generated by the counter as a query parameter.
